The Doomsday Sanction
After a pitstop for last week’s 150th episode, The Good Brothers return to wrap up the month of Match with another entry into the Justice League Unlimited Cadmus story-arc with “The Doomsday Sanction.” Join the hosts as they discuss a plot that redeems an underutilized Doomsday, who was originally featured on the Justice League episode “A Better World.” Hear the hosts discuss whether or not the return of this major tentpole character was justified, the tendency of the series producers to subvert expectations with some important characters, why Dr. Milo’s return seemed a bit out of place, why this episode could’ve flourished with a second part to it, and visuals that wow but are held back by the return of the terrible, no-good CGI. Plus a pair of musical cues that steal the show and another all-star voice cast that features some more fantastic work from multiple performers. All of this and a preview of next week’s episode on this week’s DCAU Review!

Wrapping up their month of Justice League Unlimited coverage, the Good Brothers review the Booster Gold tale “The Greatest Story Never Told” from JLU season one. Some fun factoids as to the original intended character for this story are shared while discussing how effective the writing team turns around an unlikeable character, two surprising familiar names cast as supporting characters, and why Booster hasn’t seen much love in the last 10 years in standard DC continuity, Plus the hosts discuss the other time a black hole was the main antagonist in a DCAU cartoon, a cameo from one of our host’s favorite animated movies of all time and a preview for the series being covered in the month of May!
The Good Brothers are back as they continue reviewing episodes of Justice League Unlimited with this week’s episode “For the Man Who Has Everything.” Our hosts discuss the original comic written by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons on which the episode is based, why this episode was the perfect follow up to the pilot that expanded the Justice League roster, Eric Roberts perfect portrayal of the slimy Mongul, how this compares to another dream-sequence DCAU episode, some really mind-blowing Easter Eggs in both voice acting and music and why Mongul would be #Cancelled if he was living in 2020. All of this and something that has only occurred one other time in DCAU Review history on this week’s all-new episode!
